Token configuration

SSH configuration

The authentication token is copied from the clusterpost-server to the computing grid via 'ssh'. It will be copied to the 'execution_server' path set in the configuration.

Remote clusterpost-execution

The authentication token needs to be downloaded from the server and set in the 'clusterpost_execution' configuration. You may add the following fields to the conf.json.

{
    "tokenfile": "/path/to/the/token.json"		
}

or

{
    "token": "copy and paste the token from the downloaded file"
}

or rename the file token.json to '.token' and copy it into the clusterpost-execution folder in the computing grid.

2.1 Remote execution only

This tool allows users to execute the clusterpost-execution

2.2 For versions previous to v1.1.0

If you configured the clusterpost-server with an SSL certificate, you will need a copy of the certificate.

To retrieve the certificate from the server running clusterpost-server

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect localhost:8180 </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM > certificate.pem

Where localhost:8180 must be changed by the IP address running clusterpost-server.

Change the path to the certificate accordingly in the configuration file
